    Frustrated with Microsoft’s demand, which Dormann said would only show him typing commands that were already depicted in the screenshots, and hitting Enter in CMD, the analyst created a video laden with malicious compliance.

    The video is 15 minutes long and at the four-second mark flashes a screenshot from Zoolander, in which the protagonist unveils the “Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good.”

    It also features a punchy techno backing track while wasting the reviewer’s time with approximately 14 minutes of inactivity.

    Malicious compliance posts always make my day.
